You already know why. Past about twenty miles a buyer has no relationship with you, no way to return a 400lb engine, and no reason to trust a warranty from a yard they've never visited. So the sale doesn't happen and the unit eventually goes to scrap.
We built the missing piece. OEMtronic issues the warranty, sets the shipping standard, and pays the claim. Your unit reaches a mechanic in another state, and neither of you has to trust the other for it to work.
A rare unit nobody within twenty miles needs. Somewhere else a mechanic is searching for exactly it.
Every month it occupies space and loses value. Storage is not free, and neither is the capital tied up in it.
Eventually it goes for weight. A unit worth $1,800 to the right buyer becomes a few hundred dollars of metal.
That is not a supply problem or a demand problem. It is a trust problem, and it is the only thing standing between your yard and a national market.
Each of these replaces something that only works locally.
Commission is earned down, not negotiated. Every yard starts at Standard and moves on performance.
We hold 10% of each payout for 90 days against warranty claims on that unit. It releases automatically — no request needed, no approval step. If a claim lands in that window, it is charged against the reserve first.
We would rather you hear this here than discover it on your first payout. It exists because a warranty somebody else pays for is not a warranty either of us can rely on.
Short list, and none of it is negotiable — it is what makes the warranty possible.
Not a stock image, not a similar one from last month. One of them must show the VIN tag. A listing cannot go live without this.
Pre-OBD donors often have no verifiable odometer. Write that. An unknown mileage stated honestly costs you nothing; an invented one costs us a claim.
Si only. xDrive versus RWD housing. The things that would cost a mechanic the installation if they got it wrong.
We supply the spec. Most claims at distance are freight damage, not bad engines — this is where the money is lost.
Fair question, and worth a straight answer. OEMtronic sells engines. That means on any given unit we might be on the other side of a deal from you. What we are offering here is access to demand you cannot currently reach at all — mechanics in states you don't ship to, who would otherwise buy new or buy nothing. If that trade isn't worth it to you, don't take it.
Our staff who need it to quote. Not other yards. Your cost is never shown to anyone outside the people arranging the sale, and our own sales team cannot see what we paid you.
We decide it and pay it. It is charged against your reserve first, and it moves your claim rate — which moves your tier and your commission. That is the whole mechanism: quality is worth money rather than worth praise.
No. Buyers deal with OEMtronic, and one warranty from one accountable party is the entire reason distance selling works. Your certification tier is visible; your name is not.
Then keep doing that. This is for the units that aren't moving — the ones with no local buyer, sitting until they scrap.
Not your whole yard. Pick the ones that have been sitting longest with no local interest, and see whether they sell to someone two thousand miles away.
